I think one of the most underutilized features on many devices (aside from Bluetooth) has to be SMS text messaging. This is an incredibly powerful tool, which simply sits by the wayside for many mobile users. I’ll be honest, I use text messaging to get baseball scores sent to my phone, so that I will be notified the exact second the Washington Nationals lose another game (watch out ‘62 Mets, we’re coming for you).

Now, there is a new service called Mosio which has set out to change all of that. Mosio describes itself as a “mobile social network”. The idea behind it is to provide an quick and easy way to obtain information in an instant utilizing the existing text messaging features on your cell phone or mobile device. Simply text your question to the service, and a QnAgent will respond (typically within seconds). You can ask for directions, a recomendation for a resturaunt or movie, just about anything.

In additon to asking questions of the QnAgents, you can also use it to search for information, create widgets, even subscribe to Textcasts, which are helpful information, jokes, and other tidbits, sent directly to your SMS inbox.
